1.28 Male and female swords
Xiping for six years. Spring, the first month, Xin Chou, forgive the world.
Liu Bei was sixteen years old. Nearly eight feet tall. Two-handed sword strikes. Fight against the Gongsun clan and be undefeated. The strength is also great, and the wooden sword is too light. I want to forge a weapon that is handy.
Hu Shang of Ma City, Zhuo County, once asked someone to send a huge piece of meteorite iron in an ox cart.
This meteorite is known as the 'stone core iron bone'. It was smelted for three days on a fierce fire, only to get a slight redness on the surface. The third uncle tried many methods, but failed to refine. It's not the same as it used to be. Momen came to vote, and there were many good craftsmen. Liu Bei then ordered someone to take out the meteorite iron and hand it over to Xia Fu to try to forge.
The design of the male and female swords was also finalized after careful discussion with Gongsun, Huang Zhong and others.
The system of the eight-sided Han sword, male and female swords, sharing a sheath.
The difference is in the scabbard.
Unlike normal scabbards, the double scabbards are still made of the same piece of meteoric iron. Shaped like an unbladed heavy sword. In other words, when the double-strand sword is unsheathed, it can be used as an unedged two-handed broadsword.
Hold the ground with a sword, and the hilt of the sword is as long as the chest.
Both two-handed swordsmanship and two-handed swordsmanship originated in the Qin and Han dynasties and prevailed in the Tang Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, two-handed swordsmanship was lost. In the Ming Dynasty, Mao Yuanyi tried to use the Korean two-handed sword to recover, but failed. In his book "Wubei Zhi", a two-handed sword book was included. The only ancient two-handed sword spectrum that has been seen in the world since then.
Two-handed swordsmanship is not uncommon at this time.
As the saying goes, if you divide for a long time, you must be together, and if you are together for a long time, you must be divided.
Liu Bei, whose two-handed sword skills were becoming more and more refined, faintly felt that the male and female mandarin duck sword style would inevitably become one in the end. Finally a sword.
It's just that the sword style has long been learned. There is no two-handed sword pose. But Liu Bei always felt that there was. Discuss with the Gongsun clan, whether it is Gongsun Lan or Gongsun Yan. They all shook their heads flatly.
Liu Bei did not insist. The Master led the way into the door to practice in person.
Gongsun is good at fencing. Known as the sword. I don't know if it's the separation of male and female swords, which leads to a split personality. If Gongsun Lan and Gongsun Yan can merge their two swords, can the Yuan Shen be merged into one?
The female assassin once said that the Gongsun clan was on the line between life and death. If it can be broken and then established, the disease will still turn around. Liu Bei has never understood how to break it and how to stand it. Perhaps, can you start with the male and female sword pose?
Never mind. It's too dangerous. In case of a business trip, the Gongsun clan will never recover. Liu Bei cried without tears.
After several attempts, Xia Fu finally found a way to refine the 'Stone Heart Iron Bone' meteorite.
Charcoal, pulverized coal, fish oil, 'water and fertilizer', mixed together.
Water and fertilizer are oil. In ancient times, oil was called 'water fertilizer', 'fat water', and 'stone paint'.
"Hanshu • Geographical Chronicles": "Gaonu County, Shangjun, there is water, fat and combustible". It's about oil.
The water row blows day and night, and the blast furnace eventually melts the meteorite. Dozens of good craftsmen relay forging and refining steel. It lasted for one month, forging Liu Bei's male and female swords and bladeless scabbard. The sword is straight and heavy. The female sword is tough and thin. The male sword slashed, and the female sword stabbed.
Liu Bei held the sword in his hand, cutting iron like clay.
Born of a divine soldier!
The inscription on the sword: 'Hualou, Xia Sang'. The merger of the two swords is 'Huaxia, Lousang'.
The building is high in summer, and the mulberry hemp is the dress. It is the Lou Sang in the mind of the young prince.
To match the bladeless scabbard, the hilt has been lengthened. The male and female double swords with scabbards weigh sixty pounds. Liu Bei tried, why do you need both hands, just one hand! Well. In other words, he is also a first-class general! The self who ate a lot of mulberries and even grew disabled in history is also a first-class swordsman. Not to mention yourself today!
The two-handed sheathed sword is suitable for horse warfare. When the double-strand sword is unsheathed, it is melee combat.
Liu Bei has studied literature and martial arts since he was a child, and he has achieved success at the age of sixteen. All that is missing is the experience of facing the enemy. Daily sparring with the Gongsun clan is like this. Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Lan appear alternately. One is strong, fierce, and fast, and the other is steady, accurate, and ruthless.
has a sword sparring partner, and Liu Bei has benefited a lot.
Spring is blooming, and Licheng construction continues to start. Liting supervised Kang's two ditches, and the canal embankment was completed, and the redundant manpower was sent to Licheng to build a building and supervise Kang's construction of a warehouse. One winter, the Juma River flows green. Liaodong giant wood, sand, stone, bricks and tiles continue to be transported. The materials are complete. Now it's working.
Licheng is a farmer. The same is a courtyard, a cow prison, a pigsty, a chicken trap, built quite a lot. Liu Bei combined the experience of later generations to create a three-dimensional prison circle, which was collectively called 'animal building' by the people of Yi. Three-dimensional planting is not suitable. Three-dimensional breeding first. In particular, the three-dimensional chicken coop made of wood, wicker and green bamboo can feed several times as many poultry. The structure is an upgraded version of Liu Bei's stable.
Long planks and long boxes are built. The box is divided into compartments, and each compartment holds one bird. The floors and doors are woven in wicker, leaving pores. In front of the door is a long bamboo cut in the center. Feed and drinking water can be placed in the green bamboo. The chicken coop is lined with river sand, grass and wood ash. It is used to cover fallen feces. It only needs to be cleaned and replaced regularly to ensure that there is no fecal odor in the hospital.
The backyard used for farming is built with a separate double-urn septic tank. Fertiliser water also goes into the sewerage network.
There is no mill in the Licheng house. Instead, new water mills were built next to the water mills by the embankment. It shares a vertical water wheel with the water mill. The water mill is composed of an upper and lower fan grinding disc, a rotating shaft, and a bracket. The upper grinding disc is suspended on the support, the lower grinding disc is installed on the rotating shaft, and the other end of the rotating shaft is connected to the vertical water wheel, and the water wheel is rotated with water potential, and the lower grinding disc is driven to rotate. The grinding disc is made of hard stone, and the upper and lower grinding discs are engraved with opposite spiral stone patterns, which crush the grain by driving the lower grinding disc to rotate.
Water mill and water mill are collectively called: hydraulic mill.
Similar large mills were built along the embankment, more than a dozen. Enough for the people of the city.
Guo Zhi came to ask if it was possible to build a chariot like Lousang in the city for the people of the city to come and go.
Licheng is divided into two by the north-south direction of the Liting ditch. The left bank is two and a half miles horizontally and five miles vertically. The right bank is also two and a half miles horizontally and five miles vertically. Boxy and neat as a chessboard. The city spans the water of the Liting ditch, and it is not easy to build a boat. After all, Licheng is a farmer, there are not many merchants and tourists, and there are no students. Many families have mules and horses. And laying railroad tracks is too expensive, and several cities in the countryside are built. Liu Bei also had no money to spare. We'll talk about that later.
The most important thing is to finish the building. Then a trench was dug and water was diverted around the city. Build a moat.
The area of Licheng is twice that of Lousang. There are not so many magnificent large-scale buildings as Lousang. Such as the business shop, the wine pond, the guest house, the school, the Houfu ancestral hall and so on. Therefore, it can accommodate twice as many people as Lousang.
Originally, it was planned to supervise the construction of 3,000 houses.
With the successive Qingji refugees, Huaisi people, and Danyang tribes, there is a continuous influx. Guo Zhi said that he was afraid that 5,000 houses would be built.
Liu Bei nodded happily, but also.
Shaojun Hou's wine bar, guest house, soup pool, embroidery hall. Naturally, it should also be built. The lively East and West Cities are also being planned. Flag Tower, Mansion, Castle Building...... Finally, a strong Licheng governance office will be built.
Take it easy. Methodical, there is still time. The land was divided a year ago, and now it has settled in its hometown. They are all the people under the rule of the young princes.
Meitian and Huazhai will not be missing. Just be patient.
Even if some people were worried, there were also Lou Sanghao merchants who came to buy Xingu, and the young monarch and Hou Shao 'recruited Liu Bei', and told him to listen. I also used my three-year experience as a guarantee to calm his mind.
